Kaare D. Tranæs
I began my academic journey studying business and communications but realized that my true interests lay within the natural sciences. So I switched from Copenhagen Business School to study nutrition, food science, and human biology. During my master’s thesis project, I discovered the world of statistical data programming with R, and I am now working to bring the power of computational data science to the field of human nutritional disease.
